Mix together maple syrup, chives, and mascarpone in a small bowl. Preheat oven to 325°F.

Whisk together the eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar, and salt and pepper to taste in a medium bowl. Dip the bread into the egg mixture until well soaked and shake gently to remove excess.

Melt a pat of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bread and cook until golden brown on each side. Remove the bread from pan and spread the mascarpone mixture over one slice. Layer turkey, ham, and Gouda over mascarpone. Top with the second slice of bread and bake until warmed through and the cheese has melted. - makes 1 sandwich - Adapted from Dishing Up Vermont by Tracey Medeiros.---
